Mark Krikorian, There You Go Again
In your most recent post, Mark, you batted away the suggestion that the president has adopted his present stand on immigration in order to avoid destabilizing Mexico. You write:
First of all, the president's views are more deeply held than that — this [the situation in Mexico] may be on the list of things the White House is concerned about, but it's not the source.
Maybe the president's views are indeed more deeply-held than that. But what's your evidence?
I ask because I so completely accept the point you made earlier: namely, that if the president is merely making political calculations, then he may be open to the new calculations that restiveness among Republicans in the House is even now forcing upon him; but that, if he is instead acting out of some form of conviction, he may prove permanently obtuse, leaving the GOP in the House no choice but to break with him, decisively, openly, and vituperatively.
What are the president's motivations–and how are we to know?

Conference in Nebraska to focus on global water and food security
Mar 22, 2011
The Water for Food Conference will be held in Lincoln, Nebraska from May 1 to 4 with the theme "Paths to Solutions." The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the hosts of the conference, along with the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute at the University of Nebraska.
The CEO of the Gates Foundation, Jeff Raikes, as well as the principal officer of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Water, Pasquale Steduto, are scheduled to speak.
"This conference attracts experts from across Nebraska and around the world who are committed to developing solutions to one of mankind's great challenges - how to feed a rapidly growing global population with finite amounts of land and water," said James B. Milliken, the president of the University of Nebraska.
The 2010 conference was attended by more than 300 people from academia, industry, government and agriculture. This year, registrants from more than 20 countries have already signed up.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation recently pledged $40 million, along with the British government, in an effort to fight food security problems throughout the world by means of increased research.

If you missed yesterday's post you can fin it HERE.}
Hellllooo and welcome to a little game I like to call "Let's Shop Naomi's House!"
One of the perks of being a former craigslist and auction junkie is that I have a nice little collection of furniture. Who cares if I leave my guest room, living room and 3rd floor depleted? This One Room Challenge is focused on my master bedroom (again) and if there are a few holes elsewhere, I'll just deal with that later. It's the musical chairs of decorating.
Here is a rundown of my furniture I plan to use in the master…
I'll be stealing the curved white upholstered headboard from the guest room and moving it into the master.
As much as I'd love new-to-me mismatched nightstands, it's just not in the budget…
So I'll be using two of these Ikea Rast hacks from my collection. Unfortunately I discovered over the weekend that Harper Overlays started falling off, so I will have to DIY something in the next 3 weeks.
Awesomesauce. Just what I needed: Another TO DO to add to my To Do list.

Patient Comments: Psoriasis - SymptomsWhat symptoms and signs did you experience with psoriasis?
Comment from: Berth, 13-18 Male (Patient)
Published: April 15
I can't afford expensive medicine, so I tried herbal cures. Boil guava leaves in water until it looks like a tea. Then take a bath using the water. Try to use it while it is still warm. You may look green after taking a bath, but it's the leaves curing the skin. Also try papaya soap, but nothing scented. Was this comment helpful?Yes

Comment from: Kelly, 25-34 Female (Patient)
Published: February 08
I've had plaque psoriasis since I was a small child. I had it in my knees, elbows, and then later on my scalp and in my ear canals. The knee, elbow, and ear psoriasis cleared up in my late teens but the scalp psoriasis only got worse. I still have it now, and my knee psoriasis is back, but well controlled with steroid cream. I've also developed a small patch in my pelvic area. It is very unpleasant and nothing seems to work on it. It often affects my sex life. I did take injections of Triamcinolone Acetonide in my scalp. It cleared for well over a year. When it reappeared, it came back with a vengeance. I went back for more injections but sadly, they no longer worked. My grandfather had it all over his body. He was ashamed of it and so would wear long sleeves year-round. Covering it up (occlusion) is often really bad for it and can make it worse. He was a farmer and always out in the sun. It could have really helped him. My dad didn't have it until later in life (in his 60s). My older brother (now in his 40s) has it in the palms of his hands. Eucerin cream at night helps him a lot. My cousin has it on her scalp. It definitely "chose" our family. While I am frustrated with my psoriasis, I am grateful I only have it over a small percentage of my body. My heart goes out to those with large/painful plaques. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I had psoriasis in my early 30's; but was only diagnosed when I was 37. It started with rashes on my scalp (it causes flakes which I thought was dandruff), elbows, buttocks. After visits with doctors, I was advised to take several medications: tar shampoo fixed the scalp problem; moisturizers fixed the elbows; I also was prescribed "Methotrexate" to lower my immune system. All these medicines cost a lot of $$$! Skin started to improve after 2 months, but then after a year, they're back. I'll have to consult with my doctor again. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I have had psoriasis for years, a hereditary factor given to me by my grandmother. Mine is mostly scalp related and when it acts up, my scalp literally falls apart. I have used every shampoo I know of, switched shampoos regularly to avoid "getting used to it", and I have finally found something that calms it down. Baby shampoo. How simple is that? I wash my hair every day so I began to wonder if that wasn't part of the problem. Baby shampoo is mild, has nothing that will harm you and bonus, no more tears! I am pretty happy with this and have also switched my laundry detergent to Dreft. It's cheap, smells great and won't irritate the skin. Was this comment helpful?Yes

My husband has had this horribly irrating disease since a heart attack about 4 and half years ago, and has tried everything. I suggested hot wax and he has been doing that for the past week. He paints his spots and areas with hot wax, covers it with plastic and leaves it on over nite. In the AM he peels it off, showers then uses Vaseline and plastic in the day time. It has made it non irrating and the lesions are not scaly but soft and non irritating. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I am 75 and have had psoriasis for over 50 years. I had a dermatologist who treated me with a cortisone injection every two or three months and this I find most helpful. The trouble is trying to find a doctor who will give me the injections. I had a serious fall and dislocated my right shoulder resulting in three tears. I feel that my immune system is going crazy trying to treat the injury. Was this comment helpful?Yes

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico — New Mexico recorded near normal amounts of rain and snow in 2014, and officials say forecasts are pointing to the drought easing up by May.
A panel of state and federal weather forecasters and water managers met Tuesday to discuss the drought. They say the latest map shows nearly two-thirds of New Mexico are dealing with moderate drought conditions or worse.
That's better than the 80 percent reported at this time last year.
The state received 95 percent of its normal precipitation last year. The most rain fell in far southeastern New Mexico near the Texas border.
In the last month, snowpack levels have increased significantly in the southwestern mountains and only slightly in the high elevations of north-central New Mexico.
Another winter storm is expected to bring more moisture later this week.

Painting realistic hands
Painting hands often causes serious trouble to both professional and amateur artists. The complexity of their build, especially in realism, puts them among the hardest parts of a human body to render properly. When painting realistic hands, two key factors are needed to achieve satisfying results: a thorough knowledge of anatomy, and creative choice of skin tones.
Both of these factors have to be perfectly balanced – even the best technique won't help if you make serious anatomical mistakes; but the knowledge of anatomy alone, not supported by appropriate colour choices, won't ever yield a realistic result either.
Even though both of these elements can only truly be mastered with time, there are some rules and tricks that, once known, will dramatically improve the working process and make an artist's life much easier.
In this workshop I will try to explain and describe those methods, as well as share some tips and hints that might further speed up and ease the hard process of rendering hands.
To use the workshop to its fullest, you should own and have a basic knowledge of professional painting software such as Painter and Photoshop and have a tablet available to use.
The walkthrough image was completed using Photoshop with some help from Painter, but for your comfort the brush tips will be described for both of these programs simultaneously throughout the whole painting process.
From issue 16.

Bee shortage threatens farmland: Mites, diseases, and pesticides are all suspected of contributing to bee colony collapse disorder. The bees are dying at such a fast rate that farmers who rely on bees for pollination are now reserving them five years in advance. NBC's Anne Thompson reports.
READ: How neglecting bees could endanger humans
Bees pollinate much of our food supply, but a pesticide threatens their survival
If you are an almond farmer in the Central Valley of California, where 80 percent of the world's production is grown, you had a problem earlier this spring. Chances are there weren't enough bees to pollinate your trees. That's because untold thousands of colonies — almost half of the 1.6 million commercial hives that almond growers depend on — failed to survive the winter, making this the worst season for beekeepers in anyone's memory. And that is saying a lot, because bees have been faring increasingly poorly for years now.
Much of this recent spike in bee mortality is attributed to Colony Collapse Disorder, a mysterious condition where all the worker bees in a colony simply fly off as a group and never make it back to the hive. Scientists have been studying this odd phenomenon for years and they still aren't sure why it is happening.
But a slew of recent studies have pointed an accusing finger at a class of pesticides, the ubiquitous neonicotonoids (neonics for short), which include imidacloprid and clothianidin, manufactured by Germany's agro-giant Bayer, and thiamethoxam, made by Syngenta. The neonics, the world's leading insecticides, are applied on a whopping 75 percent of the farmlands in America, according to Charles Benbrook, research professor at Washington State University's Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources. Neonics are a so-called systemic pesticide. That means that they are taken up by the plant's vascular system and get impregnated into all parts of the plant that an insect encounters, including the leaves, seeds, nectar and pollen. Corn and soybean seeds are typically coated with the pesticide before planting. Fruit trees and many vegetables are sprayed.
Few researchers believe that the neonics alone are to blame for the bees' troubles, which appear to result from a perfect storm of contributing environmental factors. Pollinators have been called the canaries in the coal mine for ecosystem health. The declining numbers of both wild species and domesticated bee colonies worldwide is regarded as a troubling barometer of the state of the environment, reflecting habitat loss, the spread of agricultural monocultures, infestation by viral pathogens and bee parasites like the Varroa mite, climate change and even electromagnetic radiation, which seems to interfere with bees' homing ability.
But the neonics, which contains a chemical related to nicotine that attacks an insect's nervous system, have been demonstrated to kill bees — and especially the queens — when applied in high enough doses. And a growing body of research suggests that at sub-lethal concentrations, these agro-chemicals mess with their navigation, foraging and communication abilities, throw off their reproductive patterns, and weaken bee immune systems, making them susceptible to sudden colony collapse.
One study published by scientists at Purdue University in 2012 showed high levels of clothianidin and thiamethoxam in bees found dead near agricultural fields. Other bees at the hives were observed exhibiting uncoordinated movement, tremors and convulsions, all signs of insecticide poisoning.
In yet another study conducted by scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health, which I reported on in Reuters last April, researchers actually re-created colony collapse disorder in several honeybee hives simply by administering small doses of a popular neonic, imidacloprid.
These and other recent studies led the European Union to call on Monday for a provisional ban on neonics for two years to see what impact this has on Europe's endangered bees. The use of the pesticides had already been temporarily suspended in Germany, France and Italy.
The vote in Brussels was split (15 of the 27 EU countries voted for the ban). The British Newspaper the Observer said that there was "a fierce behind the scenes" campaign to prevent the ban. The paper reported that agricultural multinational Syngenta, facing what it called "serious damage to the integrity of our product and reputation," threatened to sue individual European Union officials involved in publishing the damning report about the dangers of neonics. The U.K. voted against the ban, alleging that the science is inconclusive and that barring the pesticides would be hugely expensive and potentially cripple food production.
But the ban had lots of public support, including a petition signed by over 2.5 million Europeans. And it was universally applauded by environmentalists, who have been fighting for it for years. Andrew Pendleton of the U.K division of Friends of the Earth said: "This decision is a significant victory for common sense and our beleaguered bee populations. Restricting the use of these pesticides could be an historic milestone on the road to recovery for these crucial pollinators."
Pressure has been building in the U.S. to restrict the neonics. A coalition of beekeepers and environmental groups filed suit in March against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its failure to ban the pesticides, saying that the agency didn't consider the impact of the pesticides on vital pollinators. The American Bird Conservancy published in March a review of 200 studies on neonics, including industry research obtained through the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, which concluded that the neonics are lethal to birds and other wildlife and to the aquatic systems on which they depend.
These threats to wildlife are significant, but the world's attention is rightly focused on bees, which are responsible for pollinating nearly a third of our food supply. These industrious insects are in serious trouble. And if their decline continues unchecked, we humans may soon be in trouble too.
READ: Non-profit HoneyLove.org is buzzing as lush's charity pot partner
Today we're excited to share HoneyLove, one of our Charity Pot partners with you. We knew there was no better way to get you buzzing than to have Chelsea and Rob write about the amazing work that they do, and all the ways that you can help!
In the Spring of 2011, HoneyLove co-founders Chelsea and Rob McFarland would have never guessed that a swarm of honey bees showing up in their backyard would provide the inspiration for what has quickly become their life's passion—a non-profit organization committed to conserving honey bees. Fast-forward to 2013 and HoneyLove has created an impressive local organization with a global footprint.
Bees pollinate 80% of the world's plants including 90 different food crops, which means that 1 out of every 3 bites of food is thanks to a bee. However, since 2006, more than one third of honeybee colonies collapsed nationwide, a global phenomenon now called Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD. And while there is no one smoking gun causing CCD, scientists now widely agree that it is a result of a combination of factors, made manifest by industrial beekeeping and the use of agricultural pesticides such as neonicotinoids.
While the situation is dire, honey bees permanently living in urban environments seem to be relatively unaffected by CCD. Why? Urban bees find more than enough varied forage in home gardens, landscaping and weedy areas to feed themselves throughout the seasons. And since the vast majority of the forage in the city is pesticide-free—because most homeowners aren't dumping industrial-strength chemicals on their yards—bees have one less mortal enemy to contend with. While the city represents the bees' best shot at surviving and thriving, HoneyLove still has a lot of work to do to ensure we will have a healthy ecosystem in the future. HoneyLove.org inspires and educates urban beekeepers at free educational workshops and beekeeping mentoring sessions. Attendees learn all about how to become urban beekeepers along with fun and interesting facts about bees; for example:
• Bees collect 4 things, water, nectar, pollen, and propolis.
• The honey bee is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.
• 1 lb of honey is the product of bees visiting two million flowers and flying 55,000 miles.
• Honey is the only food that does not spoil (bacteria can't grow in it, and because of its low moisture content and low pH – honey can last indefinitely).

"By working with LUSH's Charity Pot, we were able to really step up our education efforts in a short time. We host monthly workshops ranging from real practical beekeeping topics to things like mead-making, beeswax symposiums, honey tastings, and how to plant a pollinator-friendly garden. We try to find something for everyone. We want to give people easy ways to contribute to the future of honey bees, knowing full well that not everyone wants to put on the suit and do the whole beekeeper thing" explains Rob.
"On HoneyLove's website everyone can find something to do to help the bees, ranging 'easy' to 'hard-core', depending on how sticky you want to get your hands" jokes Chelsea.
Easy ways you can help today:
PLANT bee-friendly plants in your yard and put out a water source. Bee-friendly plants include native and old-fashioned "heirloom" varieties, borage, sage, mint, thyme, lavender and most other herbs too.

Mystery Malady Kills More Bees, Heightening Worry on Farms
By MICHAEL WINES
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A mysterious malady that has been killing honeybees en masse for several years appears to have expanded drastically in the last year, commercial beekeepers say, wiping out 40 percent or even 50 percent of the hives needed to pollinate many of the nation's fruits and vegetables.
A conclusive explanation so far has escaped scientists studying the ailment, colony collapse disorder, since it first surfaced around 2005. But beekeepers and some researchers say there is growing evidence that a powerful new class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids, incorporated into the plants themselves, could be an important factor.
The pesticide industry disputes that. But its representatives also say they are open to further studies to clarify what, if anything, is happening.
"They looked so healthy last spring," said Bill Dahle, 50, who owns Big Sky Honey in Fairview, Mont. "We were so proud of them. Then, about the first of September, they started to fall on their face, to die like crazy. We've been doing this 30 years, and we've never experienced this kind of loss before."
In a show of concern, the Environmental Protection Agency recently sent its acting assistant administrator for chemical safety and two top chemical experts here, to the San Joaquin Valley of California, for discussions.
In the valley, where 1.6 million hives of bees just finished pollinating an endless expanse of almond groves, commercial beekeepers who only recently were losing a third of their bees to the disorder say the past year has brought far greater losses.
The federal Agriculture Department is to issue its own assessment in May. But in an interview, the research leader at its Beltsville, Md., bee research laboratory, Jeff Pettis, said he was confident that the death rate would be "much higher than it's ever been."
Following a now-familiar pattern, bee deaths rose swiftly last autumn and dwindled as operators moved colonies to faraway farms for the pollination season. Beekeepers say the latest string of deaths has dealt them a heavy blow.
Bret Adee, who is an owner, with his father and brother, of Adee Honey Farms of South Dakota, the nation's largest beekeeper, described mounting losses.
"We lost 42 percent over the winter. But by the time we came around to pollinate almonds, it was a 55 percent loss," he said in an interview here this week.
"They looked beautiful in October," Mr. Adee said, "and in December, they started falling apart, when it got cold."
Mr. Dahle said he had planned to bring 13,000 beehives from Montana — 31 tractor-trailers full — to work the California almond groves. But by the start of pollination last month, only 3,000 healthy hives remained.
Annual bee losses of 5 percent to 10 percent once were the norm for beekeepers. But after colony collapse disorder surfaced around 2005, the losses approached one-third of all bees, despite beekeepers' best efforts to ensure their health.
Nor is the impact limited to beekeepers. The Agriculture Department says a quarter of the American diet, from apples to cherries to watermelons to onions, depends on pollination by honeybees. Fewer bees means smaller harvests and higher food prices.
Almonds are a bellwether. Eighty percent of the nation's almonds grow here, and 80 percent of those are exported, a multibillion-dollar crop crucial to California agriculture. Pollinating up to 800,000 acres, with at least two hives per acre, takes as many as two-thirds of all commercial hives.
This past winter's die-off sent growers scrambling for enough hives to guarantee a harvest. Chris Moore, a beekeeper in Kountze, Tex., said he had planned to skip the groves after sickness killed 40 percent of his bees and left survivors weakened.
"But California was short, and I got a call in the middle of February that they were desperate for just about anything," he said. So he sent two truckloads of hives that he normally would not have put to work.
Bee shortages pushed the cost to farmers of renting bees to $200 per hive at times, 20 percent above normal. That, too, may translate into higher prices for food.
Precisely why last year's deaths were so great is unclear. Some blame drought in the Midwest, though Mr. Dahle lost nearly 80 percent of his bees despite excellent summer conditions. Others cite bee mites that have become increasingly resistant to pesticides. Still others blame viruses.
But many beekeepers suspect the biggest culprit is the growing soup of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides that are used to control pests.
While each substance has been certified, there has been less study of their combined effects. Nor, many critics say, have scientists sufficiently studied the impact of neonicotinoids, the nicotine-derived pesticide that European regulators implicate in bee deaths.
The explosive growth of neonicotinoids since 2005 has roughly tracked rising bee deaths.
Neonics, as farmers call them, are applied in smaller doses than older pesticides. They are systemic pesticides, often embedded in seeds so that the plant itself carries the chemical that kills insects that feed on it.
Older pesticides could kill bees and other beneficial insects. But while they quickly degraded — often in a matter of days — neonicotinoids persist for weeks and even months. Beekeepers worry that bees carry a summer's worth of contaminated pollen to hives, where ensuing generations dine on a steady dose of pesticide that, eaten once or twice, might not be dangerous.
"Soybean fields or canola fields or sunflower fields, they all have this systemic insecticide," Mr. Adee said. "If you have one shot of whiskey on Thanksgiving and one on the Fourth of July, it's not going to make any difference. But if you have whiskey every night, 365 days a year, your liver's gone. It's the same thing."
Research to date on neonicotinoids "supports the notion that the products are safe and are not contributing in any measurable way to pollinator health concerns," the president of CropLife America, Jay Vroom, said Wednesday. The group represents more than 90 pesticide producers.
He said the group nevertheless supported further research. "We stand with science and will let science take the regulation of our products in whatever direction science will guide it," Mr. Vroom said.
A coalition of beekeepers and environmental and consumer groups sued the E.P.A. last week, saying it exceeded its authority by conditionally approving some neonicotinoids. The agency has begun an accelerated review of their impact on bees and other wildlife.
The European Union has proposed to ban their use on crops frequented by bees. Some researchers have concluded that neonicotinoids caused extensive die-offs in Germany and France.
Neonicotinoids are hardly the beekeepers' only concern. Herbicide use has grown as farmers have adopted crop varieties, from corn to sunflowers, that are genetically modified to survive spraying with weedkillers. Experts say some fungicides have been laced with regulators that keep insects from maturing, a problem some beekeepers have reported.
Eric Mussen, an apiculturist at the University of California, Davis, said analysts had documented about 150 chemical residues in pollen and wax gathered from beehives.
"Where do you start?" Dr. Mussen said. "When you have all these chemicals at a sublethal level, how do they react with each other? What are the consequences?"
Experts say nobody knows. But Mr. Adee, who said he had long scorned environmentalists' hand-wringing about such issues, said he was starting to wonder whether they had a point.
Of the "environmentalist" label, Mr. Adee said: "I would have been insulted if you had called me that a few years ago. But what you would have called extreme — a light comes on, and you think, 'These guys really have something. Maybe they were just ahead of the bell curve.'"

ARTICLE: Mystery of the disappearing bees: Solved!
By Richard Schiffman
If it were a novel, people would criticize the plot for being too far-fetched – thriving colonies disappear overnight without leaving a trace, the bodies of the victims are never found. Only in this case, it's not fiction: It's what's happening to fully a third of commercial beehives, over a million colonies every year. Seemingly healthy communities fly off never to return. The queen bee and mother of the hive is abandoned to starve and die.
Thousands of scientific sleuths have been on this case for the last 15 years trying to determine why our honey bees are disappearing in such alarming numbers. "This is the biggest general threat to our food supply," according to Kevin Hackett, the national program leader for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's bee and pollination program.
Until recently, the evidence was inconclusive on the cause of the mysterious "colony collapse disorder" (CCD) that threatens the future of beekeeping worldwide. But three new studies point an accusing finger at a culprit that many have suspected all along, a class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids.
In the U.S. alone, these pesticides, produced primarily by the German chemical giant Bayer and known as "neonics" for short, coat a massive 142 million acres of corn, wheat, soy and cotton seeds. They are also a common ingredient in home gardening products.
Research published last month in the prestigious journal Science shows that neonics are absorbed by the plants' vascular system and contaminate the pollen and nectar that bees encounter on their rounds. They are a nerve poison that disorient their insect victims and appear to damage the homing ability of bees, which may help to account for their mysterious failure to make it back to the hive.
Another study published in the American Chemical Society's Environmental Science and Technology journal implicated neonic-containing dust released into the air at planting time with "lethal effects compatible with colony losses phenomena observed by beekeepers."
Purdue University entomologists observed bees at infected hives exhibiting tremors, uncoordinated movement and convulsions, all signs of acute insecticide poisoning. And yet another study conducted by scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health actually re-created colony collapse disorder in several honeybee hives simply by administering small doses of a popular neonic, imidacloprid.
But scientists believe that exposure to toxic pesticides is only one factor that has led to the decline of honey bees in recent years. The destruction and fragmentation of bee habitats, as a result of land development and the spread of monoculture agriculture, deprives pollinators of their diverse natural food supply. This has already led to the extinction of a number of wild bee species. The planting of genetically modified organism (GMO) crops – some of which now contain toxic insecticides within their genetic structure – may also be responsible for poisoning bees and weakening their immune systems.
Every spring millions of bee colonies are trucked to the Central Valley of California and other agricultural areas to replace the wild pollinators, which have all but disappeared in many parts of the country. These bees are routinely fed high-fructose corn syrup instead of their own nutritious honey. And in an effort to boost productivity, the queens are now artificially inseminated, which has led to a disturbing decline in bee genetic diversity. Bees are also dusted with chemical poisons to control mites and other pathogens that have flourished in the overcrowded commercial colonies.
In 1923, Rudolph Steiner, the German founder of biodynamic agriculture, a precursor of the modern organic movement, predicted that within a hundred years artificial industrial techniques used to breed honey bees would lead to the species' collapse. His prophecy was right on target!
Honey bees have been likened to the canaries in the coal mine. Their vanishing is nature's way of telling us that conditions have deteriorated in the world around us. Bees won't survive for long if we don't change our commercial breeding practices and remove deadly toxins from their environment. A massive pollinator die-off would imperil world food supplies and devastate ecosystems that depend on them. The loss of these creatures might rival climate change in its impact on life on earth.
Still, this is a disaster that does not need to happen. Germany and France have already banned pesticides that have been implicated in the deaths of bees. There is still time to save the bees by working with nature rather than against it, according to environmentalist and author Bill McKibben:
"Past a certain point, we can't make nature conform to our industrial model. The collapse of beehives is a warning – and the cleverness of a few beekeepers in figuring out how to work with bees not as masters but as partners offers a clear-eyed kind of hope for many of our ecological dilemmas."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Merri!
Facts about Merri
- Breed: Feist/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Merri's Info...
Why Choose me?
Merri is full of love and happiness. I know her pictures show a serious or questioning look on her face, but that's because as I was trying to take her picture, I was telling her to stay when she would rather have been next to me or playing. Merri walks well on a leash and comes to you whenever you call her. She also likes to jump up for a hug and give kisses. Merri will exuberantly chase a ball, but she's not too sure about what to do with it once it stops rolling. That's okay because she's ready to chase another toy or happily run back to you wagging her tail. Come play with Merri today. Her enthusiasm is catching and you'll both have a great time!
Act quickly to adopt Merri. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Athens Clarke County Animal Control
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Merri, a Athens Feist/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Feist/Labrador Retriever for sale in Athens, or seeking a Feist/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Athens.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Athens already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Athens breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Feist/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Feist/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Athens paves the way for another one to be saved.

Any users of single door (not French door) bottom freezer refrigerators? If so, what kind do you have, do you like it, and have you had any problems with it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had the large Amana, badged Maytag and loved it. I now have a smaller F & P and like it. I find it the most convenient refrig to use. |
Thanks for the info, eandhl. I'm trying to pick out appliances for a new house we are going to be building. |
I have the Kitchenaid counterdepth and I'm very happy with it. It's very quiet, keeps the food cold, and doesn't get in the way. I love not having to kneel in front of the bottom shelves pleading with the fridge goddess to show me where the food is. Having the freezer on the bottom just makes so much sense. |
Amana 2002 model. Would like to replace it with a Liebherr, which means the Amana will probably never break, LOL! |
Thank you all for your responses! I'll have to look at the F&P, Kitchenaid, and Liebherr. I have a Whirlpool in our current kitchen; it, too, was made in the same plant as the Amanas. Momj47 - your refrigerator looks great and I love your cabinets; your kitchen is very pretty! |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Sat, Dec 6, 08 at 9:45
The biggest problem with a single door bottom freezer fridge is that beyond a certain size, the door is HUGE and heavy and swing way into your aisle. That's why it's very rare to find one wider than around 33". The french doors are far easier to integrate into a kitchen design because of their narrower doors and you get more usable aisle space rather than it hitting you every time. |
live wire oak while it is true that the door is big my reason for preferring the single door, bottom freezer is - I do not like opening a door and having the counter behind a door. Unless you can place a french door in the middle of a run of cabinets it will alway have a side without easy load/unload counter. Although it would work it fridge placement is very close to an island. |
Lyno; When looking for a bottom freezer, single door refrigerator earlier this year, which is what I knew I wanted, I did my homework by looking at the Consumers Report issue that had come out a few months before, which ranked the Kenmore Elite as their preference. Taking into consideration the width of the door versus available space issue, which I did not have, I did purchase the Kenmore Elite and have been delighted with it. It's extremely quiet and I love having wide shelves to handle large items. |
Maxmom - I agree with you on having the wide shelves. I also like that when getting things out of the fridge I don't find myself doing deep knee bends to get to the back of the bottom shelf. live wire oak and eandhl - you bring up some good points, I am working on a kitchen plan right now and I need to check the width and aisle. My DH drew up a preliminary plan that I'm tweaking before I post it on the kitchen forum for help. He wants a full depth refrig and plans on recessing the wall behind it (the laundry room is on the other side). It will be at the end of a cabinet run with the island behind serving as the landing zone. I like live wire's suggestion of a french door style, but my DH is very firm that he does not want a French door refrigerator ("just one more thing to fail on it" - his words, not mine). We got our current single door bottom freezer Whirlpool under pressure when our 30+ year old SxS died it's final death (I swear that SxS had 9 lives; my DH could always replace a part and revive it!). We also bought it with the thought we'd put it in the lower level of the new house I do like the bottom freezer configuration better than the SxS. I have been thinking that is what I want in the new kitchen. But our Whirlpool is making some strange noises. It fit right in at Halloween, sometimes it sounds like a spook is trapped inside - LOL. We haven't had any problems and DH says it's fine. We do normally use CR, but I also like to check for real people's experiences and other resources, too. Thank you all for the comments and the food for thought. I'll do some more looking and go back to the plan for clearances. When I figure out our appliances, maybe you'll see our layout post on the kitchen forum. |
I have a 4+ year old Amana counter depth 36" single door bottom freezer. I had ordered a regular depth one, and when it arrived I found that the door hit the island. I exchanged it for the counter depth. The armoir style would have worked, but I like the less busy style of the single door, and I always seem to open the wrong door on those armoir styles.I worried about the loss of space with the counter depth, but truly, the space lost was generally occupied by things unknown and unseen, if you get my drift. Everything is easily visable and accessible with this set up, and the counter depth looks so much better. I have had zero issues with the appliance. It is quiet, runs great, sturdily built. Not sure if the model has changed since I purchased in 2004 though. |
Thanks, tilenut. I found an Amana bottom freezer single door counterdepth, AMC2037DEB, online. The specs show with the door open 90 degrees it is 61 1/4" deep. I'll compare that to the full depth. Thanks for the info on your 4 yr old Amana; I'm glad to hear it is doing great and is quiet! I like Amana; I'll check to see if there has been any changes in the company in the past 4 years like some of the other appliance companies have experienced. And, yes, I catch your drift (LOL) about things getting lost in the back of the fridge! |
We are also looking at a single door bottom freezer fridge. The fridge would go next to a door frame. Will the door open without hitting wall? Does the door protrude out from side of fridge? |

The problem Riot has here is the very same nintendo had with Metroid Other M. You present information to the players, you make them think of their own vision of how the character is, through her background and achivements, and then present the official one as the complete opposite of what was expected. Unfortunately for you, people have imagination. PD: I personally imagined her more agile looking, kind of like Spellthief Lux if she was a ranger.

Lean Body Carb-Watchers Shake Overview
Here's an awesome very-low calorie and low-sugar shake mix from Labrada. Because it's from Labrada, it's going to taste good, that's for sure. One thing this company totally gets right with all their products is the flavor and taste. Just make sure to mix it into cold liquid, with some ice if possible. In each Lean Body shake, you're going to get about as much protein as you can probably handle in a single meal, 40g. That's more than a half dozen eggs. It's also nice to see a MRP without any maltodextrin, which are too-often touted as complex carbs (they really aren't with their sky high glycemic index >130).
Lean Body Carb-Watchers Shake Description from LABRADA New and Improved CarbWatchers Lean Body is the food of champions. CarbWatchers Lean Body provides athletes with a concentrated source of protein and essential nutrients in an easy-to-use, delicious shake. CarbWatchers Lean Body tastes great, will keep you in great shape, and helps you perform at your best! CarbWatchers Lean Body is the instant, delicious meal replacement drink mix that provides the extra protein and nutrients that athletes need, without extra carbohydrates or calories.

Manufacturer's Directions Glass- Fill glass with 10 oz. of water or your favorite beverage. Add 1 packet (65g) of Carbwatchers Lean Body, and mix with a spoon until powder is evenly distributed. Shaker- Fill Shaker with 10 oz. of water or your favorite beverage. Add 1 packet (65g) of Carbwatchers Lean Body. Cover and shake until powder is evenly distributed.

Cover & blend for 20-30 seconds or until powder is thoroughly mixed.
I am 54 years old and have been using this product for years. I find it works great for meal replacement and after workout rebuild.
We keep trying other protein mixes just to save a little $$$ but find its just not worth it! We think LaBrada Lean Body Carb Watchers Vanilla is the best. We mix ground flax seed and berries into it with some healthy cranberry water no sugar and its great.
I blend Sake with 3-4 ice cubes, chocolate milk, 1tsp. peanut butter and Im good until afternoon! Other days I make an Orange Julius-type shake. Its fabulous! Thanks!
These are THE best tasting protein shake Ive tried. They really do taste like a chocolate shake, no cardboard or metallic flavor, no funky after tastes.
A few years ago I was ready to give up going to the gym all together because I was putting in two to three hours three to four times a week and not seeing the results I wanted. Discouraged, I vented my frustrations to the gym owner. He asked me to give him two months and if I didn't see a difference he'd refund my membership. He recommended the Labrada Lean Body, Carb Watchers, Shake and did the calculations of how much protein I should be taking in on a daily basis. Prior to this, I had always been a little skeptical about protein powder and supplements but I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, two months later I started to see a big difference. I was gaining in the right places and losing the fat. Three years later and I still swear by this product. Follow the program and you will see a difference!

Instead of revolving around the typical four-eyed geek and his or her surroundings, this photoshoot concentrates on a more romantic quality. Softly lit and sweetly styled, the editorial is a treat for the eyes, not a laugh for the belly.
The Fashion Gone Rogue 'Geeklandia' online editorial was shot by photographer Anne Combaz in collaboration with French stylist Benjamin Armand. The youthful wardrobe is filled with prim and proper pieces from the likes of M Missoni, John Galliano and Veronique Leroy. Accessorized with a ton of eyewear, the looks were perfected by hairstylist Miha Oshima and makeup artist Aya Fujita.
